Vapor-Lock
Vapor-Lock is an innovative hydrophobic, low-viscosity PCR encapsulation barrier. As little as 10 µl easy-to-pipet Vapor-Lock creates an effective barrier. Vapor-Lock enables reaction overlays that prevent evaporation and eliminate the need for tube caps. Unlike mineral oil, Vapor-Lock does not contaminate or inhibit PCR.
